A Trip To Pokhara (A Journal Of Journey)

It was a chilly morning when we started our journey. We all gathered at the place we have decided. We were planning to go to Pokhara since three weeks. We have already gathered all the things we might need on the way.
When we started our journey to Pokhara, we thought it to be full of joy. But the things were just opposite. When we reached Thankot, the tyre of the bus burst. No hotel, no where else to go and no thing to do. We all just sat inside the bus and waited for the tyre to get repaired.
We waited there for about an hour and half as the driver repaired two tyres. We then started our journey. We stopped at Naubise to have breakfast. When we got into the bus and have traveled 3 or 4 KM, one of my pals called me and said that he was left by us at Naubise. Then we turned the bus and then received him. Every one scolded him a lot. But he was not affected by all these stuffs. Then we were traveling good, one of my pals said that there was his house on the way. He asked for us to go and meet his parents. First we denied but he forced so much that we have to agree and let him go his house to meet his parents. He went to meet his parents. We all know how the family reunion is and how much time it consumes.
We waited her one hour, she didn’t arrive. We all were so angry that we decided to leave her and start. But on of my pals said that she too had paid for the trip and it’s our duty to wait her. And we can’t leave her in the middle of the journey. I got too angry and said he could stay there and bring her with him, if he was so worried about her. He was quite. We all agreed to leave her and go. We decided to wait two more minutes. Two minutes were over and we started. She called me and asked us to get 0back. But I refused to go back and pick her. She was a bit angry. But it never mattered to either of us.
We reached to Mugling and decided to have rice as we all were too hungry. Then we went to a restaurant and had rice. Then friends said to have some beer. I agreed as I was in the mood to drink. We ordered six bottles of beers. Ladies were a bit angry as they didn’t want us to drink and get wild. We finished that and were not satisfied either. So we ordered one full bottle of wine and started drinking. We drank so much that it was difficult for us to stand and walk. We hardly remember what we did and what we spoke. We neither remember nor want to remember that time.
Then we started our journey. We had not expected about that thing. The girl we left and went was on the road waiting for us. She quarreled with me in such a way that if I was not drunk, I would cut her into pieces. But her saying affected me not because I was not normal. I was drunk. We again started to travel with a lot of gossips. I remembered one of my lady pals saying that all asked me to wait her but it was me who left her and went. By the way, she was the first lady to suggest me to leave her and go. But I was not in the mood to debate and nor were my friends. In the check post, the traffic asked for the route permit. But our bad luck, he dropped that route permit from his pocket. The traffic seized the key and we were helpless.
Driver suggested us to go by other ways as he was hopeless that the traffic will let us enter from there with out a route permit. What else could we do? We had no other ways to reach Pokhara. We went to Pokhara by a public buss by standing on the bus for about three hours.
We reached there and went to the hotel. And I think we all fell fast asleep. We traveled various places of pokhara for three days and we returned not by reserving a bus but by a public bus. It was fast. And no one was angry. We didn’t stop at the place we wanted. Neither any one of us went to meet parents, neither our route permit was lost, neither the tyres were burst. It was easy traveling in public buses then in reserved buses. But when to say to others the trip was very fun. Yea to as overall, the trip was fun for me as I made many new pals and by the way, some of my friends broke friendship with me. But these things never make a difference.


ANOTHER TIME IF WE WENT FOR A TRIP, I PROMISE YOU THAT IT WILL BE MORE FUN THAN THIS TIME.
SO COME AND ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY WITH US……………
